Honey Bee Control & Prevention

Honey bee management should be addressed by a professional.
Treatment or removal of a honeybee nest and the honey product can
be very messy. Because honeybee colonies are so large, only a honey
bee pest control professional or experienced beekeeper can safely
remove a honeybee nest.

Honey bees are social insects found all over the world. They are
beneficial insects because of their role in pollination. Honey bees
pollinate more than 100 crops in the U.S.

Habits

Honeybees are active pollinators, and produce honey which feeds
their young in colder months. The honeybee is the only social
insect whose colony can survive many years.

Habitat

Honeybees produce honey from pollen and nectar of the plants they
pollinate. They store the honey in honeycombs in their nests. They
often build their nests in tree crevices, but will occasionally
build nests in attics or chimneys.

Threats

Honeybees do sting, but they only sting once. The sting can be
extremely painful if the stinger is not immediately removed from
the sting. Persons allergic to insect stings will have a more
severe reaction.
